When Jung emerged from his 'confrontation with the unconscious', he felt validated by Wilhelm in his discovery of the healing power of medieval alchemical symbolism for the European psyche. Analytical psychology however offers a scientific,...

Emocje i sposoby oddychania są wzajemnie współzależne – określone emocje powodują określony sposób oddychania. Z drugiej strony sposób oddychania może zmieniać emocje lub postrzeganie własnych doznań, takich jak ból lub lęk. Techniki pracy z oddechem były stosowane już od tysiącleci w terapii i praktyce duchowej. Służyły między innymi do uspokajania umysłu, leczenia oraz podtrzymywania zdrowia...

This should not be surprising, since lucid dreaming, like all forms of conscious experience, is comprised of a flow of subjective events created by brain processes using...

Hypnagogic and hypnopompic experiences (HHEs) accompanying sleep paralysis (SP) are often cited as sources of accounts of supernatural nocturnal assaults and paranormal experiences. Descriptions of such experiences are remarkably consistent across time and cultures and consistent also with known mechanisms of REM states. A three-factor structural model of HHEs based on their relations both to...
